Wow, so different from Gottlieb, but with the same pinball basics. This particular game was in a home I'm guessing for many decades, and aged well with some metal corrosion and wood planking on the right archon the pf. The bg is pretty nice, and the cab as well with some patina.
The play meter is at 43k.
What I found to be primarily chinse is the Plastic ball shooter assembly and chimes. The threaded tabs on the shooter were broken off and I glued them back on.
What I do like better than Gottlieb is the front mounted backglass, which is way easier to remove. And the cab paint seems to be thicker.
So far the only question I have is what's the best way to clean the carbon off the slot reels which looks to be paper?

Quoted from KenLayton:

Yeh, dust the reels off with a paint brush.
The more I look at your pictures, I'm thinking it might by the Klondike machine we had at Capitol Amusement here in Olympia. Is that a Music Vend Distributing sticker on the top arch?

This game is from an estate sale and it along with some other pinside.com had belonged to the executors uncle. There was a Top Card there with a Music Vend sticker with only 15k on the meter. His uncle got it brand new while in college.

I'm planning on getting those. Just wondering how to tackle the rivets.

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

You drill them out....carefully.

And what size of rivets do I use, and where can I buy them along with the rivets tool?

Quoted from EM-PINMAN:

I did not have to replace the rivets as the holes were just covered up by the new vinyl decals.
